Myra's Monday Book Club - Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Myra’s Monday Book Club – Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

This book sat on my shelf for a year before I picked it up to read, and I’m very happy I decided to read it now then a year ago. I read it walking around, on the bus, in the bath, in the shower, whilst I was cooking… I could not put it down. I thought it was going to been a teen love story with drama and broken hearts and ‘first world problems’, it was anything but.

THIS IS A NON – SPOILER…

Books I'm not allowed to read until exams have finished | Book haul!

Books I’m not allowed to read until exams have finished | Book haul!

All my assignments have been handed in, all my prac and prac theory exams are done – all is left are four final exams, and you can see the light at the other end!

I have been listening to books via my Audible app, but that is all I allow myself because once I start reading an actual book – my world slips, fusing within the letters that create words, as time and presence is lost. Day changes to…

Myra's Monday Book Club - week 5

Myra’s Monday Book Club – week 5

I have been so excited to share this book review with you. My week 5 book pick was Elizabeth Gilbert’s BIG MAGIC! I ‘read’ this via my Audible app, which was read by Elizabeth herself. Her voice was so brilliantly tranquil and reassuring.

Big Magic is everything that I needed in a book, for my life at this moment. The entire book felt like Elizabeth was sitting next to me with tea and a biscuit,…

Myra's Monday Book Club - week 4

Myra’s Monday Book Club – week 4

My week 4 book club pick, was a book that I had my eye on for a while – like months. But something inside me was procrastinating with this book, and I didn’t understand why – that is, until I read the book.

That book is, ‘The Breeders’ by Katie French.

I am fully aware and considerate of the creative language of writers, and in knowing this, I won’t ever say that a book is terrible, or utter…

Myra’s Monday Book Club – week 3

I listened to this series on my Audible app over a year ago, but decided to make it part of my Monday book club and listen to it again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series! I love it better this time that I listened to it… this will be the third time.

In the first book, After the End, the story switches between the narration of Juneau and Miles, who at the time seem to have no connection between them.…

Myra's Monday Book Club - (Unofficially) Week 2

Myra’s Monday Book Club – (Unofficially) Week 2

I have never taken so long to read a book, as I have with The Hunger Games. It’s not because I didn’t enjoy the book, but because I was picturing Jennifer Lawrence instead of putting the imagery pieces together in my head. Usually, I will always read the books before I watch the movie, but with this trilogy I watched the first movie and then found out it was a book series. It was quite a fail!

I…

#myrasmondaybookclub

I started a book club ages ago called #myrasmondaybookclub, an idea that came to me when I read an article on how to get over the Monday blues. I love Monday, it’s a fresh start each week to set new goals, work on your growth as a person and to be productive. In the article that I read, it had a list of things to do, to help you look forward to Monday; one of the things on that list was to start…

Myra's Monday Book Club - Week 1

Myra’s Monday Book Club – Week 1

I created a little Instagram book club that failed in its first week. First, I had a horrible headache from Monday – Wednesday, then I got Swimmers Ear, then I had an accident while on location for a writing assignment. I was photographing a waterfall and as I was walking out to the rocks in the middle to get a brilliant shot, I slipped and smashed my head on a rock, blacked out for a few seconds…

What is beauty to you? - A short film

What is beauty to you? – A short film

In August 2015, I was contacted by a perfume company in Hawaii and asked to partner with them. The perfume is organic, plant-based, sustainable and gorgeous; I accepted with great excitement and am so grateful for this opportunity. My first project was to create a short film and I created it to the theme ‘What is beauty to you?’.

Along with fellow YouTuber Ella Rose and my childhood best friend…
